Good finds appear to be diminishing at GOODWILL because the GW stores (within the nation) send their best donations to their online stores. People have not stopped donating nice things, just don't see them on the Goodwill shelves.
Love your videos but I’m still holding that wood knife block you convinced me to buy 2 years ago. They’re at Savers all the time. I don’t know how you get buyers for them🤷🏼♀️ What’s your secret.
I remain hopeful as the only way they will know what to send into for the online stores is if the employees give enough of a fuck to search through the dono's in that regard. I have been going to a few of the stores near me that have high turnover due to this, and have noticed plenty of nice things on the floor.
@@foulintentions3334 I used to be able to find military jackets of all branches...not any more. I used to be able to find gaming systems and accessories...not any more. The list goes on...They have average clothes, over priced to the point, you can not turn a decent resell profit. I guess, if you want to shop for your own store...go to GW online store. I find myself pulling away from the GW stores, and finding other resource outlets.
Agreed. I used to spend $30-50 at GW each trip with multiple trips a week. Now I can hardly find enough to spend $30 a week there. And prices are insane. The ones by me don't even have glass display cases anymore.
"Money is Money no matter what you sell". So true. I've had people turn their noses up on so many items at estate sales because they just don't have the background to understand the item's possibilities. Gotta love having experience.
@@goldenstatepicker I lived in Salt Lake City for 23 years up until a year ago when I moved back to Idaho. In the last five years I've become an expert on Mormon literature, much to the hilarity of my Mormon friends. I sell to some of the biggest collectors in the world of such things, as well as the Mormon Church from time to time (they buy anything they don't have). It's an interesting book culture and it's fun chasing some of the rare stuff I've found. Have had a lot of people just turn away from it, though the competition in Utah for the books was pretty vicious (and fun). I also deal in 78rpm records and Edison Diamond discs (recently purchased 18,000 store stock Diamond Discs). Another thing people turn their noses up at, the vinyl crowd that is. Funny and fun stuff. Great video. I enjoyed it quite a bit.
Funny i tell my buddy the exact same thing. If something sells for say $5 in bulk numbers and it's kind of boring and something else sells for $5 and it's something everyone wants like detergent, it's still the same money (i sell at auctions weekly and flea markets). I sell anything that will sell... Money is money i tell him, $5 is still $5 no matter the item and if you sell 20 of them both that's $200. Sometimes i only break even on an item, rarely, but after awhile of doing it i know what the crowds here will buy. Selling is easy, sourcing is the gold...
@@dewdew34 I deal in 78rpm records, a lot of which regular dealers won't touch, saying there isn't a market. Well, for one, I get them very cheap. Two, I get them in bulk. And three, there are people who like them and will buy them. But you have to do the work, post them, etc. I do nicely and have sales all the time of these products because I'm usually the only one selling them. Also, it doesn't hurt that I have a track record of being very strict on grading so people will buy from me before they will others. I've picked up FBI pins, designer dresses (I know enough to be dangerous if the price is right), even a large umbrella I bought for $100 and flipped in a day for $400 on FB marketplace. Knowledge is power and the older I get, the more I know and use. I was in Salt Lake for 23 years and got to know a lot of the sellers and their specialties. Making small talk while waiting for a sale to open, I learned a lot which I'm using now in SE Idaho. I'm also networking. Get to know others who deal in items you don't and exchange numbers. I've found others stuff and they've found me stuff. Having allies is huge and having a good relationship with the estate sellers is just as good.
@@JLStanton1968 Absolutely. I've sold lots of things to specialists for a nice profit knowing they will do well too. Connections are gold too in terms of moving things you might have to sit on for awhile. Having space is important. 🙂I did buy some 78's of 50's artists in binders in great condition at our local auction to resell, i need to dig them out... If you have Hibid auctions in your area and haven't used it then check it out. I find some deals on vintage items.
8:50 that book is just so cool looking so fascinating to see the inside the names now we have so much graphics and I think that’s pretty beautiful book it’s a history. ☎️
Yes I am having a difficult time sourcing items. Live in the southeast warm weather climate and for some reason garage sales are very scarce and the ones there are seem to be people cleaning out Knick knacks or selling regular minimal value stuff they don’t use to make an extra buck to offset the overall rising prices. Not much at thrift stores either and there always seem to be a lot more resellers looking for items so competition has increased. Fortunately this is not my primary income source so I don’t have to worry to much, just keep plugging along and find what I can. Absolutely love your content, your positive attitude, and you professing your faith!

Thrift stores in my area (Northern Virginia/Wash DC metro area) are always packed full of stuff (a lot of it junk)….most have some items wayyyy overpriced for thrift stores; in some cases sold eBay comps have gone for less. Most thrift stores around here price name brand athletic/dress shoes, even ones that are not in great condition for $20, $30, or more.
Shop Airlines. Are they the company that ships to Asia? I have sent several things to Asia through those companies. They are great to work with. Once it gets to California the eBay seller is no longer responsible for it. I contacted one and they told me it is their problem once shipped overseas.
Great bunch of sales, I need to start bugging my GW about a bin of books, see what happens. I sell Bibles all the time. I get at estate sales, the Friends of library sale I bought 4 the other day then got 3 more out of the free box. I tell people I move more Bibles than the Gideons. 😆
shop airlines is similar to ' ebay global shipping' as people in another country by from ebay via them , as a usa postal address , and then the company ships it to them ( but with no international returns policy )
I work at an auction on sale night, we give books away... I mean large coffee style books and all kinds. We sell carts full of nice hardback books for $2...We almost can't get bids. I don't ebay much but maybe i should.
Hi! Just subscribed and wanted to say hello. I had no idea you aren't too far from me. I live in Santa Cruz County (the southern part of it) and thought that was pretty cool. Definitely looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
Nice video thanks. I went by 8 different goodwill's two times in two weeks in my city and came away with very little. Either the market is already saturated with flippers, people aren't donating nice stuff or a combination of both.
The FOXFIRE books are possibly the greatest books I have ever read. If you are involved in Scouting, a Survivalist, a Historian, or someone that likes to do things with your hands in the ways they were done in the old days they are 'must haves'. *Based on the way you were speaking of them, I would be surprised if you have read them, because they seem right up your alley.
@@goldenstatepicker The problem with a lot of the Foxfire books are the bindings. Gotta really go through them. But they sell very well. Never disappointed when I find them in great condition, which is actually quite a bit where I'm at.
RA Salvatore is a very popular Fantasy writer. Nice find on the signed edition. He's one of them that you could lot of and sell based on the storylines. (ie. Drizzt stories together, etc.) Thanks for the advice on finding the bins. I'll have to ask around next time I'm in a Goodwill or other chain.
Hey, Amazon just opened up music to me. Maybe I was allowed to earlier, but I didn't try until recently. I noticed there are a lot of CDs that are profitable. Not huge profit, but some profit. I don't know how fast they sell, but I am trying some classic rock.
When you say 700 today, do you mean what you're shipping out for that day or total sales for that day of filming? I ask coz Kevin clarified his numbers recently and it helped me understand what he meant in context.
Hey Mike....I sold the Black's (4th revised like yours) on Amazon FBA for $314 in January...you should consider that maybe. I know you sell FBA, just saying you should consider that one for FBA.
@@goldenstatepicker your step by step video on Amazon fba is how I got started. I even paused the screen and set up the repricer with your rule set... Lol so the videos make a difference if you didn't know. Thanks
Do you ship your books and cd’s using media mail postage? I find when I do it takes much longer for the buyer to get. So I’m wondering is it worth the money you and/or the buyer can save.
Be careful with those paper weights that have galaxy like look to them. I almost bought one at a store but after research discovered it was a company that does art with cremation remains.
Laughing at your comment about shipping and the middle of the country has the advantage for pricing for shipping. Lol I’m on Long Island New York and I’d put money on it that EBay pushes my views toward your state California. Most of my sales are to California lol
It's a shame w goodwill. Don't know who or what type of person they hire to run ebay comps before they trot things out on the floor. Getting way overpriced.
They all are. Sometimes they don't even look in the boxes. The item on the box isn't even in the box. If the box has a price say $100 on it they go $50 even though it's worth maybe $10. Idiots!
When I run deep % off sales, my wife wonders: "Aren't you going to lose out on profits?" Yes and no. They are all items that have 'some amount of profit' attached to them. I will always find inventory. And I will always take a sale." I guess: One in the hand is better than two in the bush!
Yes, sometimes you have to clear some stuff. When we get it for pennies on the dollar its hard for us not to make something of these items. Thanks for watching
@@goldenstatepicker My average book listing is $38, average sold is $54. Average cost ~$2. I cherrypick at Saver's.

Strange question, but EBay/Amazon isn't paying you to post vids...........right??? Some reselling UA-camrs ALWAYS seem to be killin' it!! $100k, $200k, $300k per year in sales. I can TOTALLY see these platforms possibly paying a content creator to show "what sold" or "how to" and disguising it as "educational content." IDK, just a little conspiracy theory of mine....prob completely wrong, but some of these channels seem a little too good to be true??🤔
Well if you watch my older videos that should solve your doubt. LOL. No EBAY AND AMAZON pay no creator to make videos. What you see is really people doing what they do. Thanks for watching
I dont know how you guys can keep your stores going with $10 profit per item. One return and it will ruin ten items worth of profits with time and shipping.
If you watch my channel you will see that $10 isn't my ASP. It's $72. It's basically averaging. I don't sell a lot of $10 items, mostly books that are really almost free. I you watch my videos I have sold over $325,000 on both platforms last year. The video is up and I break it down to the total net for the year.
@@goldenstatepicker My minimum is $70 and I dont want to hold onto anything more than two months. But eBay gives me a defect if UPS destroys a shipment or if a buyer says they bought the wrong item.

My thrift store kicks ass. They don't want to be thought of as a greedy goodwill. The prices have been increasing so I'm a little worried they may go that direction eventually, but for now I can still leave that store with a shopping whole cart full of good stuff. And they get donations daily, lots of them. Weird thing is I Live in a pretty small town. But they get the donations..
